Orlando

Album by George Frideric Handel & Les Arts Florissants & William Christie

Orlando is an opera by Georg Friedrich Händel, first performed in 1733. It is an Italianate opera seria featuring recitative- and aria-driven structure, expressive vocal writing and orchestral colour characteristic of Handel's mature London period, and it occupies a place in his output as a work that explores intense psychological characterisation and shifts in early 18th-century operatic taste.
